Sir Nicholas George Winton
104 years old from Hampstead, London
Wednesday Hero was started to honor the men and women of the United
States military, but this week we're doing something a little
different. Sir Nicholas George Winton is a British humanitarian who
will turn 105 this May. On the eve of WWII, Winston was instrumental
in the rescue of 669 children, mostly Jewish, from Nazi-occupied
Czechoslovakia. Sadly, many of the children he saved lost their
parents in concentration camps.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so
others may get to enjoy freedom. For that I am proud to call them
Hero.
